1-0: Chris Gunter heads into his own net following a dangerous Ryan Fredericks cross after quarter of an hours play

2-0: Shortly after the restart, Chris Martin took the ball forward with purpose, picked his spot from distance, and fired low and hard into the bottom left hand corner

Reading's Danny Williams was dismissed with a straight red card after lashing out at Stefan Johansen in the 54th minute following a 50/50 challenge

3-0: Another fine afternoons work by Sone Aluko was capped with a goal. After showing sublime skill to twist between two Reading players out wide, he bore down on goal and placed an accurate strike inside the far corner

4-0: Stefan Johansen added a fourth moments later as he evaded three defenders and cooly finished with the outside of his left boot

5-0: Chris Martin grabs his second and the Whites' fifth as he nets a 90th minute free kick
